Excellent Show!!!!
11 August 2003 | by (Anderson, California, USA) – See all my reviews

"The Oblongs" is an excellent show, it's about a not-so-dysfunctional family. Robert Oblong is missing arms and legs, Pickles Oblong is bald(she, most of the time, wears a wig)and she drinks too much, their children include: Biff & Chip, the conjoined, Beth, the little girl with a wart that a size of a pickle, and Milo, the .A.D.D. kid. This show is great.
